my random ramblings

Tag Archives: flipflops

I was procrastinating on getting a new swimsuit for this summer season. Mainly because I am not going to the beach or anywhere unique this holy week. I intended to use my old swimwear because it is still ok, never mind that its style was already out of the fashion circulation. (It was an old style from Speedo’s endurance line. It resembles a cropped sando and boy leg shorts combo, kind of what beach volleyball teams wear.) Sayang naman kasi. –it would be a waste if I will not use it till it gives up on me right?

So I just let it be. Till I went to search for my suits in the drawer and find out that the fabric has already discolored on my favorite one-it is still usable if I don’t mind the discoloration, I tried my (other) newer swimsuit if it was viable (This one is a bikini) and the elastic has already crumbled. So much for using it again.

I tried to look for swimsuits online, but since its already too close to holy week, they cannot promise that the item would arrive in time. It’s off to the mall I go. I am on a hunt for something affordable because I only use my swim wear once or maybe twice a year. I took quite a while in trying to find a swim suit that is flattering to my body type as well.

I had a hard time looking for something that I want. Because what I want is something that looks like my favorite and very much outdated swimsuit. I tried on seven suits! And ended up getting one from Sassa. It was the Bohemian dream (boy leg set). It says boyleg but I think the better term for it is a high waist. As it effectively hides my tummy!

For only 799 I think it’s quite a bargain! It also comes with a srunchie to match. *If ever you are in the same pinch as I am, go and try out the swimsuits at the department store!*

And I can get more coverage if I top it with my trusty Speedo women’s boyleg shorts. I have it in navy.

I also encountered a nice find that I cannot pass up, as it can pair with my speedo shorts! I got a Quintsoul bikini top at retail lab, for 450. By matching it to my navy shorts I have “created” another set. Not bad for a last minute purchase right? *Buying just the top or bottom? Its ok. Mix and match also works too! just keep in mind that the colors you picked out work well together.*
